If you can only get one book on Ashtanga Yoga this is the one to choose. It covers the Primary Series and gives an excellent insight into the anatomical aspects. But much more than this more than half the book is given to providing one of the best accounts of the Yoga Sutra for the Western reader.

Provides a break down of each of the asanas, in the primary series, and gives a very complete explanation of the Yoga Sutras. Highly recommended. Thank you Gregor for a fantastic book!

In the western world, yoga is often viewed as a great way to exercise- perfect for flexibility and stress management. It is that. However, in our ignorance, we are only getting part of the benefits of this practice.
True yoga is not only about the physical positions it is also about the philosophy. Without the philosophy, the forms have no context or meaning. Moreover, without this balance, students may actually be causing themselves and their bodies harm.
Ashtanga Yoga is an important resource for anyone who wishes to practice yoga. It blends practice and philosophy together for fuller understanding. Some of the best extras in this book include photographs of each posture, colour illustrations of the muscle groups used in each movement, and line by line interpretation of the Yoga Sutra.

If you're looking for detail and esotericism....
I bought this book because it seemed liked the full package. It is indeed very detailed, perhaps too detailed for the less advanced. Read more
